how is it that we still care?

what is the meaning of
love and falling off
the tops of evergreens?

what is the dreaming of
love and flying off
to the tops of seas?

i couldn't tell you that
love has a meaning that
saves you from me

and

i couldn't sing to you
love can be soft or true
i don't know what it can be

so
answer the question
my love

answer the question
we're in the middle of

oh
my
love

what is the meaning of
the muddled messed middle of
the path from here to there

what is the dreaming of
the empty cold seeming of
the pain of how we care?

my love
